]]>Teachers taught that sharing is caring but they were definitely not referring to exam answers. In 2014, a cheating scandal went bust after an entire class at Downriver High scored a 100% in their test. Two juniors took pictures of the answer key and circulated it on a group text when the teacher wasn’t around. A major loss of common sense aside, the plan does show how easy it is to cheat with today’s technology.

Similarly, Stuyvesant High School, an institution that gave the world four Nobel laureates, blatantly covered up an elaborate cheating ring. One of New York’s most coveted schools became the poster child for cheating when investigators found that groups of students were allowed to use their mobile phones for state tests to get answers. Five years on, a new graduate candidly replied, “We all are just helping each other out. Stuyvesant breeds a culture of cheating, and you’re honestly stupid to not take advantage of it”. This goes to show how the scourge of cheating is also spilling over to the faculty. Negligence by teacher oversite is a probable reason for such incidents.

Here are some other insights and cases that will broaden your understanding of how cheating can have some real repercussions for students and institutions.

CHEATING DEVALUES HIGHER EDUCATION

An upsurge of educational fraud threatens to devalue higher education and undermine academic integrity. Not only that, it puts the reputation of students and the institute’s brand at stake.

The rise of contract cheating, which is defined as students employing an outsider to complete their assessed work for them, has already sounded an alarm in the educational community. Because of this, the credibility of higher education qualifications and academic outputs is often put under scrutiny.

For instance, the 2016 incident involving Western Kentucky University could have caused a devaluation of the school’s computer science program. As the International Center for Academic Integrity stated, the “institution risked a deterioration of educational quality” since the students did not have the initial skills necessary to succeed in the program. Experts believe that ongoing unchecked cheating in higher education will result in education becoming nothing short of a static process that produces worthless degrees.

CHEATING DAMAGES SCHOOLS’ REPUTATIONS

According to the International Center for Academic Integrity, fraudulent student qualifications lead to a risk of reputational damage for institutions of higher education.

In a surprising turn of events, Western Kentucky University had to suspend almost half of its international graduate students who were recruited by an India-based agent in 2016. The chairman of Western Kentucky University’s computer science program, James Gary, stated the students who were asked to leave the program “did not meet the requirements of their admissions, even though they were offered remedial help by the university.”

Stanford’s reputation also took a hit with the recent college admission scandal because degrees from the university no longer carry their former value. Besides, prospective employers might want to know if the graduates were admitted to the university on merit, versus having rich parents who were willing to bribe school officials. This is proof of how cheating undermines public faith in schools.

A report by Biomed Central rightly suggests that contract cheating has “ramifications for individuals’ learning outcomes, institutional reputations, educational standards/credibility, professional practice, and public safety.”

CHEATING COSTS SCHOOLS MONEY

Cheating can lead to lawsuits, which can end up costing schools hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Moreover, universities suffer a loss in tuition revenues when students are caught and suspended for using fraudulent means to pass their tests.

The recent college admissions scandal in the news in 2019 has already led to “lawsuits targeting elite universities” from students who were not admitted to the schools because their spot was taken by unqualified students. Stanford will have to pay legal fees related to the lawsuit filed against it from students who are claiming they were harmed by the college admission scandal. Like Stanford, many universities are facing a federal class-action lawsuit, which will require the schools to pay legal fees to defend.

Due to the spotlight put on wealthy contributions to colleges and universities for fraudulent admissions, legislation has been introduced to Congress to eliminate the tax advantage alumni donors receive for such donations. This could lead to a decrease in fundraising for institutions of higher learning.

CHEATING CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF ACCREDITATION FOR SCHOOLS

If a university loses accreditation, the school can lose federal funding, which often leads to the school’s closure. Graduates from unaccredited schools find it difficult to get a job because employers are reluctant towards hiring graduates from such schools.

An ideal case of this is Dickinson State University, which was placed on notice by its accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission because the university was graduating studentswithout properacademic prerequisites or certified documents.

According to the Commission, the action was taken “because of concerns related to the University’s oversight of admissions and transfer procedures; its gathering and reporting of enrollment and related data; its accountability for, and oversight of, contractual relationships related to its academic program; the integrity of the program provided to certain international students; and its articulation of, and consistent adherence to, policies and procedures at the University or other levels.”

Loss of accreditation at the secondary level directly impacts students’ ability to secure scholarships or even get enrolled in a college of their choice.

In conclusion, there is a serious concern for the raising of critical consciousness on the part of both teachers and students. Online education has transformed teaching and learning for good but it remains equally prone to cheating. Therefore, colleges need to realize how important it is to maintain the credibility of their online or in-class exams. These incidents could have been easily been avoided if only the exams were monitored effectively. Proctortrack offers a robust solution to this persistent problem.

Mon, 19 Aug 2019 09:00:46 +0000https://www.verificient.com/?p=66600The reality of today’s remote workforce is such that employees can kick back at a co-working space or their favorite […]

]]>The reality of today’s remote workforce is such that employees can kick back at a co-working space or their favorite cafe and casually work on their project while enjoying a cappuccino. It sure sounds refreshing and liberating compared to the grinding in a stuffy corporate office. However, this scenario is in nonconformity with various security laws, including customer privacy regulations, nondisclosure agreements, and server security, exposing your entire informational framework to data breaches.

As Emma Heuston, Principal Lawyer at The Remote Expert in Australia rightly cautions,” As soon as you permit an employee or contractor to work outside of the office in any way, you need policies, procedures, and documentation in place to protect you. Without that framework of protection, you leave yourself open to miscommunication, litigation, and risk.”

Some of the most relevant insights about privacy rights in the remote workplace include compliance with remote workplace monitoring, surveillance norms, and documentation rights. Let’s dive straight into some of these insights in detail.

WORKPLACE MONITORING IS AN EMPLOYER’S RIGHT

Remote workplace monitoring is the right of an employer against issues like data breaches, infringement of company privacy policies, and potential cases of data loss.

The right of monitoring comes with several limitations, including obtaining the consent of the employees, the notification of surveillance, with specified limits of the monitored areas. Consent is a basic factor, and it needs to be addressed before the process of monitoring.

Telecommuters or remote workers hold a right to be aware of the risks, company privacy and security policy, guidelines, monitoring process information, and several other essential privacy rights. Employees should be notified about the entire monitoring process and the scope of the process, along with exceptional extensions.

Consent of an employee for the monitoring of his/her remote workplace setup does not mean that there are no specified limits of monitoring. There are specific laws that deal with the security of an individual’s privacy in a telecommute environment.

PRIVACY RIGHTS ARE NOT PRESENT ACROSS ALL COUNTRIES AND STATES

Some countries like the US, UK, and the territories in the European Union have special laws that protect the rights of people involved in telecommuting or remote work setups. However, states like Ohio have no specific laws to deal with privacy and security breaches concerning remote working. There are significant differences in the legal regulations across different countries concerning telecommuting aspects such as monitoring, consent, and the contents which can be monitored.

The Ohio Wiretap Law prohibits the “intentional interception of a wire, oral, or electronic communication,” this does not really apply to the employers since security issues are more serious for an organization.

RIGHT OF DOCUMENTATION

An organization that employs freelancers or telecommuters has the right to conduct a legal documentation process wherein all company guidelines regarding the using and sharing of company data, the privacy and security policies of the company are shared with the employee prior to his/her official joining.

Additionally, some companies can ask the employees or telecommuters to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which prohibits them from sharing any information regarding the trade secrets of the company, customer data, or any potential information which could result in any sort of data breaches.

Since the protection of data is the liability of the organization, internal policies can be made for the protection of such data. Also, it is the responsibility of an organization to retrieve any data, which is lost/sold/or illegally shared with anyone. Non-disclosure agreements help the organization in the process of avoiding and recovering from data breaches.

AN EMPLOYER IS LIABLE FOR SECURITY AND DATA BREACHES

Based on recent regulations and case laws, organizations are fundamentally responsible for the protection of its own data and the data of its customers, and if remote working employees or independent contractors commit data breach, then the company/organization is held vicariously liable.

Logically, the Privacy Acts in countries like Australia puts forth the responsibility of protecting data by preventive measures, and if the organization fails to fulfill the responsibility, then the organization is liable for all damages. This indirectly provides a right of defense to telecommute employees against any cases of a data breach, deliberate or non-intentional.

RIGHTS OF A REMOTE WORKER ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIGHT OF MONITORING BY AN EMPLOYER

ORGANIZATIONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORM INTERNAL POLICIES FOR THE PROTECTION OF DATA AND PRIVACY

The employer gets to formulate security policies and guidelines for the protection of privacy and data security of the company. Companies get to decide what they want to share with the employees and what they don’t. Information about trade secrets, login credentials to admin versions of a product, website or applications are also not shared to avoid any cases of cybersecurity breaches. Detailed company information is also not shared without non-disclosure agreements because it can pose a significant threat to the privacy rights of a company.

Since companies have their own internal policies, they can raise restrictions on the use of personal devices (many companies provide their own devices and networking setups to the telecommuters). These policies may even ask for the use of specific virtual private network VPN to protect user privacy.

]]>Proctortrack made a lasting impression at the 14th World Education Summit (WES) on August 9-10th, 2019, in Delhi, India.

Exhibiting at the event was Proctortrack by Verificient, the world’s most advanced remote proctoring and identity verification solution. Proctortrack was at this engaging two-day summit presenting its multi-level monitoring software used by many teachers and instructors to protect the integrity of their assessments.

The summit was a melting pot for ideas by experts, innovators, and enterprises who want to use technology to revolutionize the education landscape. The event highlighted peer-driven discussions, keynotes, breakouts, and debates on assessment practices, higher education, institution insights, and networking.

Proctortrack presented a strong case of how automated proctoring was far more superior than personal invigilation. The proposal of a free PILOT also struck a chord with many attendees. Director, Rishabh Lalwani said,” It was overwhelming to receive a great response from our peers and potential customers, we were marked as “Interested to know more” by several guests at the conference. Also, connecting with various segments, chancellors and decision-makers of more than 40 universities in India (and Abroad) helped us gauge the general perception of the market.”

Today’s educational landscape shows a high potential for improvement and Proctortrack aims to consistently realize competency and value by validating educational credentials. Proctortrack has delivered over 2.5 million test sessions to date and it is already changing the norms of how exams are conducted.

Remotedesk will be in Orlando, Florida for ILTACON 2019. The conference begins on August 18, at WDW Swan and Dolphin Resort.

You can meet at Remotedesk at Booth #1224.

ILTACON is a leading educational and networking event for the legal sector. The conference will bring together legal technologists, lawyers, and leaders to discuss today’s transforming the legal industry.

Remotedesk will be attending with their partners Tiburon Cloud Partners and their client Bicoastal Legal. Both partnered together with Remotedesk to deliver remote eDiscovery document review and access the most experienced, qualified attorneys anywhere in the U.S.

“We believe flexible working should not be a threat to the safety of organizations’ data. With Remotedesk, companies can leverage their employer brand and productivity without compromising on confidentiality. We can empower law firms to obtain full transparency compliance with actual billable hours. Above all, we’re delivering on our mission to deliver a true Clean Desk Environment for remote workers.” says CEO Rajnish Kumar of Remotedesk.

]]>The phrase “disruptive innovation” has gradually crept into the academic jargon and is synonymous with innovations that disturb well-established companies and products by building new markets. Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen explains this in his best selling book “The Investor’s Dilemma”. A patron of the concept, he has raised eyebrows in higher education by predicting that almost 50 percent of the 4000 colleges and universities in the U.S. will be bankrupt in 10-15 years.

Recently, Professor Christensen predicted that the introduction of online courses in universities and colleges will subvert their business model to such an extent that they will perish. On the contrary, colleges today are just not ready to give up! For instance, Bennington College feared being pushed into oblivion since it almost ran out of business in recent decades. But, amid scares of a worsening U.S. higher education market, the small liberal arts college still manages to attract students in spite of their $73,000 annual fee!

In 2015, Sweet Briar College, a 114-year-old school in Virginia declared that they would cease operations. In a surprising act of perseverance, alumnae raised over $3 million to resurrect their institute and hired a legal firm to stop the plan. After 2 years, in an overhaul, the college cut it’s tuition fee by half, to $21,000. It slashed its majors from 40 to 18, focusing mainly on courses in engineering, maths, science, technology, and even environmental sustainability. According to spokesperson Melissa Richards, Sweet Briar has stabilized its budget, raised an additional $64 million and is expecting a 20% hike in enrollment this fall.

David Bergeron, a former deputy assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Education adds, “They’ve survived because they’ve been able to exploit what they’re good at, and that has enabled them to continue to attract students and retain faculty.” At present, exclusive liberal art colleges like William and Amherst rank among America’s most desirable and affluent institutions, irrespective of their size. But even those with limited funds are finding ways to stay operational.

Many education pioneers believe that technology offers a range of learning styles, bringing the student at the center of teaching and learning. Author Audrey Watters deems disruptive innovation as one of the greatest myths in today’s modern business landscape, specifically of the ed-tech industry. Today’s job market is seeing a rapid paradigm shift from manufacturing to service. Automation is making jobs with routine skills increasingly obsolete. In this regard, eLearning and technology are the catalysts in the democratization of education.

Colleges must recognize this trend and introduce online courses and remote exams in their curriculum to stay relevant. Furthermore, online courses save time and money! Something every university and student is seeking.

Like any standard educational program, exams are central to online courses. Preserving the integrity of online tests is an absolute priority for educational institutions, especially when online exams are conducted remotely. Any breaches to their credibility can take a heavy toll on the institute’s reputation and finance.

Automated and live proctoring with an AI-based solution like Proctortrack can effectively detect and deter students who cheat. Proctortrack puts a stop to this double-dealing by adding AI-based behavior analysis and machine learning to the monitoring process. It removes the likelihood of human errors and automates the whole process without disturbing the online exam setup.

Proctortrack has delivered over 2.5 million test sessions to date and has already established that it can revolutionize the way exams are conducted, as it validates educational credentials by ensuring trusted exam integrity. This, in turn, realizes competency and value to society.

With over 90% of workers stating the desire to work remotely, the trend seems to have staying power. Proponents of remote working cite benefits not only to employees but also to businesses and the environment. However, today’s big data culture is under constant threat of security risks and data breaches. Verizon’s 2019 Data Breach Investigation Report says that over 34% of companies have reported a security breach and have suffered data loss due to breaches on remote worker’s computers or mobile phones. Hence, to achieve full security, trust, and confidentiality in an organization, a “Clean Desk Policy” is mandatory.

In a traditional brick and mortar office setup, a “Clean Desk Policy” simply means that an employee must clear his/her desk after work. This includes organizing or discarding any folders, documents, binders, files and other paraphernalia like sticky notes, business cards, and USB drives when the desk is not in use.

But, in a remote workplace, remote employees have to access and send company data and materialsoutside the physical borders of the company. Thiscreates cybersecurity risksas it widens the network, and the company can easily fall prey to data theft and fraud. Here, a “Clean Desk Policy” or “Clean Desk Environment” needs a broader definition. It outlines strict guidelines and clear screen policies for remote employees to safeguard the company against security threats or malicious data breaches.

Enables hot-desking – Saves space since employees can work in different shifts on a rota system or remote workers can offer their space to freelancers as hot-desks.

Compliance – A Clean Desk Policy is not only ISO 27001/17799 compliance, but it is also part of standard basic privacy controls.

Increased productivity– An employee spends almost 1 hour of work time per day finding missing documents and information. A Clean Desk Environment cuts this time by simplifying your work.

Challenges while implementing a CDE for remote workers

According to a report by McAfee, 64% of security professionals felt data loss prevention (DLP) technology could have prevented their data exfiltration events. These risks are only bound to increase as more and more employees are shifting toward remote work and telecommuting. Let’s take a look at a few concerns that companies usually have when managing a remote workforce.

A remote workplace increases the risk of cyber-attacks compared to the traditional workplace. A poorly managed remote workforce is like a ticking time bomb. If left unchecked, employees (or their household, guests, passersby) can copy, print or share sensitive company data.

Public wi-fi networks are a major concern for remote working cybersecurity. Connecting company-owned devices to unsecured public networks opens uporganization data to vulnerabilities since the management of the data is outside the firewalls of in-house IT specialists.

Before cybersecurity became a threat, BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) was smart, practical, cost-effective, trendy, and super employee-friendly. However, with the increased risk of data breaches that come with the remote workforce, BYOD seems to create more doubt than confidence.

How Remotedesk saves the day

One solution to these problems is Remotedesk by Verificient. Remotedesk is the only automatic monitoring solution that securely identifies and safeguards the privacy of work-from-home agents. It deters any malicious insider breaches and delivers a “Clean Desk Environment” to facilitate and secure remote work.

Here are a few features that make it the most effective solution in the market and how it brings the most value as a remote workforce monitoring partner.

Remotedesk identifies various levels of deceit and misconduct based on the guidelines defined by the corporation and the manager.

Employees have the freedom to use their own devices while working. Multi-form factor authentication ensures conduct and integrity by making sure that only authorized agents gain access to critical data.

]]>Some incidents involving test cheating are so bizarre that we think they’re one of a kind, but there are always some that top the list! For instance, this 17-year-old student in Singapore resorted to coughing fits to get answers through an earpiece during his exam. These ingenious, yet ridiculous means of cheating are often a result of extreme pressure and stress. Band these triggers with the anonymity and convenience of online testing, and you have the perfect breeding ground for cheating.

A 2012 study of 635 undergraduates and graduate students by OnlineCollege.org, revealed that 32.7% of online students admit to cheating. In another study, 73% of online students admitted to cheating on at least 1 of 14 quizzes during a semester that was not proctored. Of the two, 56% of students admitted to cheating. Those are scary figures for Universities.

The anonymous nature of the Internet has provided for a testing culture that is rife with different forms of misconduct, deceit, and fraud that has cost institutions millions of dollars. With automated continuous identity verification and online remote proctoring system based on computer visioning, these integrity issues can be mitigated considerably, at scale.

Cheating by students is just one side of the coin. In some cases, the faculty is also caught responsible for misconduct. In particular, between 2012 and 2016, nearly 2,300 malpractice offenses were committed by staff in institutions offering OCR exams.

The online examination industry is expanding by leaps and bounds. Preserving the integrity of online tests is an absolute priority for educational institutions. Any breaches to their credibility can result in huge losses in terms of reputation and finance.

Proctortrack

However, an automated proctoring andlive proctoringwith an AI solution like Proctortrack can beat cheaters at their own game. Proctortrack slams the brake on this double-dealing by adding AI-based analysis and machine learning to the monitoring process. It removes the likelihood of human errors and automates the whole process without disturbing the online exam setup.

Proctortrack by Verificient offers four levels of monitoring solutions which are tailor-made to suit the needs of different clients. For example, colleges might opt for a budget-friendly model for regular semester exams while higher education institutions might go for a robust hybrid model to conduct high-stake exams.
